Abstract
Various carbonyl compounds including aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes and ketones were converted to the corresponding thioacetals in high yields in the presence of a catalytic amount of hafnium trifluoromethanesulfonate. The mild conditions tolerated various sensitive functional and protecting groups and were racemization-free when applied to R-aminoaldehydes.
